Planning an 5GHz Infrstraucture
Region : Germany
Model : TL-WA7510N
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : actual
ISP : Self, doesn't matter
Hello,
i would like to have WLAN on a little larger Area.
Idea is:
Coupling a WA7510n to a central Switch. Configuring this as an AP Bridge for 4 other AP-Bridges.
Taking 4 other WA7510n, configured as AP Bridges, too, all with connection to the central one.
Placing them in distance to the central AP.
Connecting each direct (over PoE-Injektor), without switch) to a 2,4GHz WA5210 as 2,4GHz AP.
I tested this for One AP-Bridge. Works like a charm.
The advantage (which is to proof) is, there is a 5GHz Infrastructure which is not interfereing with the normal WLAN on 2,4GHz.
No loss of bandwith like this would happen with a repeater infrastructure.
my question:
If there is a AP Bridge-Connection established, the SSID not broadcasted, the AP Isolation activated, the MAC Filter activated how secure is this connection?
Since there is only WEP (which is insecure anyhow) offered, which is not supprted bei 802.11n anyway....there is no encryption.
How to secure this connection?
thanks for Your answers in advance,
Leo
